Aubert of Cambrai (French : Aubert de Cambrai) or Aubertus was a Merovingian Bishop of Cambrai and Arras and a Frankish saint. [1]
Aubert of Cambrai was born around c. 600 AD in Austrasia, Francia. [2]
Aubert was consecrated as the bishop of the united sees of Arras and Cambrai on 24 March 633 AD. [3] He succeeded Aldebert, bishop of Cambrai-Arras. [4]
Bishop Aubert promoted religion and the study of holy texts in Hainaut and Flanders. [5] Through his influence, many nobles were Christianized, and King Dagobert became a major supporter of the Christian Church. [6] St. Landelin was entrusted to his care and was educated in learning and piety by St. Aubert. [7] The bishop of Cambrai gave his benediction to St. Ghislain and blessed his hermitage (now Saint-Ghislain) on the Haine in the pagus Hainoensis. St. Aubert bestowed the religious habit upon Count of Hainaut Vincent Madelgarius, his wife Saint Waltrude, and her sister St. Aldegundis. [8] Aldegundis was admitted to the vows of a nun by St. Aubert of Cambrai and St. Amandus of Maestricht before becoming the first abbess of Maubeuge Abbey. [9] Aubert built himself many churches and several abbeys, including in Hautmont, in 652 AD. [8] After Witger, Count of Condat, died as a monk at Lobbes Abbey, Bishop Aubert bestowed the veil of widowhood upon St. Amalberga. [10] [11]
Aubert of Cambrai, alongside St. Eligius of Noyon, arrived 30 days after St. Fursey's death to exhume his body for his canonization around 655-658 AD. [12] Bishop Aubert performed the translation of the relics of St. Vedast at Arras in 666 AD. [8]
Bishop Aubert died around c. 668-669 AD in Cambrai, Austrasia, Francia. [8] He was buried in St. Peter Church. [8]
Serving as bishop for 36 years, he was succeeded by Vindicianus upon his death. [13] His shrine was kept in a Cambrai abbey of canons regular, established in 1066. [6] His feast day is celebrated on 13 December. [14]
